Dread Media

This week sees a crime-ridden episode. First of all, grab a wrench, say "Shut up, crime," and ponder the sex appeal of Ellen Page in a superhero costume as Darryll and Desmond interrogate James Gunn's Super. Then Desmond goes solo while dusting James Ellroy's LA: City of Demons for fingerprints. The following songs are in the police lineup: "No Sense of Crime" by Iggy Pop & James Williamson, "I Don't Wanna Be (A Superhero)" by Roadrunner United featuring Michale Graves, "To Live and Die in LA" by 2Pac featuring Val Young, and "Murdera" by Sublime with Rome.

It's a huge episode of Dread Media as Darryll takes over! First Darryll talks to Steampunk artist Kyle Miller about T-Pain, furniture, and Back to the Future!

But, wait! There's more! Songs a plenty: "Steam Rising" by Murder by Death, "Nightmare" by T-Pain, "Children of the Night" by Calabrese, "Coma America" by Amen, and "Earth Died Screaming" by Tom Waits.

In this themed episode on unreliable narrators, Desmond and Darryll take on the early 80s haunted whorehouse film The Nesting.

This week, Darryll and Desmond once again get real as they discuss [REC]2, which, beyond being a terribly difficult film title to type, is, as Darryll reminds us, another zombie found-footage film. They also bookend their conversation with talk of two imaginary films: Spike Lee's supposedly upcoming remake of Oldboy, and Darryll's proposed third film in the [REC] series. There are also songs! "Radio/Video" by System of a Down, "Possession" by Danzig, and "Fight 'em 'til You Can't" by Anthrax. Send feedback to: [email protected], or 206.203.1213. Join the Facebook group!

This time the Commonwealth Crew take on Faust: Love of the Damned, a film so disappointing the guys get right to talking about how ludicrous it is and only end up delivering the premise in a roundabout way. It's funny to hear a British guy say "breasts" and "buttocks." This film has the same effect as a music therapy class full of abrasive death metal, which is fitting in so many ways. Seriously kids, watch it! It's family fun for everyone! Send feedback to: [email protected], or 206.203.1213. Join the Facebook group! Follow us on Twitter @dreadmedia.

This week, I Saw the Devil. But I did not see the deputy! Desmond goes solo on a psychological thriller far better than it had any right to be: Shelter. Feedback and tunes galore: "Feel Good Hit of the Summer" by Queens of the Stone Age, "Run Down the Devil" by Alice Cooper, "No Shelter" by Rage Against the Machine, and "Became" by Atmosphere.

The four-color fellas return to pay tribute to the greatest horror comic series of all time by covering issues #16-19 of Tomb of Dracula and the first crossover issue: Werewolf by Night #15.

DITG Fun Fact: Two characters pimp-smack Dracula in this episode, and neither of them are human! You have to listen to find out. Send feedback to: [email protected], or 206.203.1213.

In the first installment of the TV-based Dread Media Presents minicast, Desmond is joined by Megan to take a look at Haven: Season One. Just how loosely based is it on Stephen King's Colorado Kid? What is the huge difference between the first eight episodes and the last five? And what does Megan think of Eric Balfour's butt? Check it out! Send feedback to: [email protected], or 206.203.1213.

This past week, one of the great legends of comic book art passed away. And Chris and Desmond take some time away from their Tomb of Dracula retrospective to pay tribute to Gene "The Dean" Colan. They talk about his impact in comic book history straight up to his Eisner Award-winning swan song in Captain America #601. Then hear the words from the man himself as they leave with a full replaying of the original, unedited interview Desmond conducted with The Gentleman on 06 April 2009 in episode 84. RIP Gene Colan (1926-2011). Send feedback to: [email protected], or 206.203.1213. Join the Facebook group! Follow us on Twitter @dreadmedia.
